Radicals threaten to seize 15 temples of UOC in the Khmelnitsky region (VIDEO)

In the town of Volochisk, Khmelnitsky region, radicals, with the support of the priests of the Kiev Patriarchate, intend to create a working group that will start agitating the population to fall into schism. According to a UOJ source, now the nationalists are positioned at the building site of an Orthodox church in Volochisk, blocking the construction.

In the video, the priest of the Kiev Patriarchate calls to stop the expansion of the canonical Church. According to Filaret follower, "we must get together, organize a village meeting, and everybody will speak a word so that people there will understand that they go to the "Moscow church". In the Donbass, there is no our church left, and we will be silent here? Let's make an order."

Nationalists urge to use the mechanism of seizing UOC temples, which has already been applied in Kotiuzhiny and Katerinovka of the Ternopol region.
